No little beetles or serpents have as yet
appeared this season upon the evening
toilet of those of the earth who can afford
to be eccentric. Twenty years ago French
women had a caprice about snakes. They
made pets of them.
The Princesse de Ia Tour d'Auvergne
always kept little one in her pocket,
alive of course. Her husband objected,
and her friends did not all quite like it.
but no entreaties awaited to separate her
from the little reptile that she loved.
Nine. Musard Wore small viper on her
neck among her incompatible diamonds.
When she appeared in her box at the
opera every glass in the house was leveled
at her as she sat scintillating with dia-
monds, and with the dark coil of the SER
pent's body illustrating the whiteness Of
her neck.
Later on the Countesse de Nillineuve
for several months Wore on her neck a
beautiful scarabeus beetle. 1t was teth-
cred to a ring by very slender golden
chain. 1t could run about on her shout
ders; sight which pleased few who saw
it. An American lady, a few seasons
ago, initiated this distinguished example.
In both cases the little creatures died of
starvation.-London News.

INITIATING THE ENGLISH.
The Difficulties of Trying to "Follow tho
Hounds" on Long Island.

Hounds" on Long Island.
Therefore, in this hyperborean region
when the thermometer is below zero and
the ground covered with snow for
months, when the blasts are most pene-
trating and the frosts most biting, the
fine folk must initiate the English mode.
They, too. must open their country
houses, built and furnished for summer,
and invite country house parties" to
sports that nearly kill them by exposure.
They shivcr and freeze and suffer, and
sometimes die; they take diphtheria and
pneumonia, and endure agonies of torture
because the high English go to the coun-
try at the same time.
Therefore, on Long Island, where a
man may hold, perhaps, 100 acres, and
his next neighbor is farmer as much
propr' ctor as he, the imitator of aris-
tocracv sets up q kennel and attempts to
follow the hounds. But his neighbor
protests; he is no tenant bound to allow
the descendant of feudal lord to destroy
his fences and trample on his crops. Not
long ago one of these farmers gave notice
to Il gallant master of the hounds that he
would shoot the first man who attempted
to ride over his grounds. Good sport.
however, could not be interrupted, and
the whole "field'' swept proudly down.
But there stood the farmer, with musket
in hand. and like the king of France,
with twice 10000 men, the huntsmen
bold rode up hill and then-rode back
again. They had no feudal rights. and
were only trespassers.
They even did not find the good Demo-
Gratis of the country willing to give them

The Least Painful Death.

Death by aconite is the least painful of
any. The feeling is something like being
frozen to death. A kind of numbness be-
gins in the extremities and gradually
spreads over the entire system. There is
no pain whatever, except, possibly, q
slight burning sensation in the breast.
The fatal sensation is, in fact, extremely
pleasant. Death from freezing is said to
be delightful. 1t is the same with aconite.
A pleasant tingling is felt through the
limbs, while enhancing dream fancies
run through the brain.-Cincinnati Ply

The Chicken Cure.

In some parts of India it is custom
of snake-bite specialists to apply the
chicken cure, which is thus described by
a correspondent:
"A Hindu woman having been bitten
on the ankle, her husband applied n
bandagc above the wound and sent for
the specialist. The man recommended
the chicken cure. Twelve live chickens
We're brought to the house and applied
to the wound one after the other. All of
them died from the effects of the poison,
and two moro were sent for; these two
lived, and the patient was declared
cured. The matter having been reported
to the police, the woman was removed to
n hospital, but at the end OF five hours
the doctors found no sign of poisoning
and permitted her to walk home. "-Ex-

THE THlEVlSH PERSIAN SERVANT.
"Ma;!alihil" Levied on Everything which
Is Eonrht for the NInstcr.

"Mu!alhil" Levied on Everything Which
is Fought for the Master.
The thicvsh commission the Persian
servant cxacts is known as ''mudakhil,"
and its size is only limited by the servants
greed and his victims purse. Such
''mudakhil'' is levied on everything which
is bought for or by the master. from a
house or horse to a mosquito net. Even
the best and most trusted Persian servant
takes it, and it is, indeed, considered in
the light Of one of the best established
and NEST honored institutions of the
country. No one can escape the "mudak-
hi. not even the al powerful shah. His
servants rob and plumber him Just as per-
sistently as do those of the European
residents or travellers their employers.
But there il fine distinction made. \
"mudalihil'' of 10 per cent. on the prlr-
chase price is very straightforward, hon
orable and fair; one of 20 per cent. is
permissible; but one Of 40 or 80 per
cent. is theft and brazds the servant as
dishonest. Such a one loses caste and
could only be excused by his country
men if his victim be a newly arrived
''ferenghi," European or American of
grecnhom propensities.
But even in that case it would be held
to be stretching the bow little too far.
As long as be keeps within the bounds
just mentioned the Persian servant may
cheat and swindlc his master every min
ute if he can, and he may proudly raise
his head and call himself an honest man
in Persia. The natives understand this
fine principle so well that even if the
master should, in exceptional cases, take
the trouble to purchase the goods in
question himself, the dealer will always
in the purchase price include the ''mu-
dakhil' for the servant, to be paid the
latter on the nail as soon after the sale
as he chooses to call for it.
The Persian servant is not very SUI
perior article. He is lazy, dishonest,
slow, unreliable. untruthful and decidedly
slovenly in his personal habits. Besides,
he is possessed of one characteristic
which will alone suffice to make him dis
tasteful to the average westerner-he is
so horribly familiar. He identifies him.

Stability of the ,JCttics.

If single fact more than such as
were known was wanted to confirm the
confidence now felt in the jetties, the late
storm in the gulf has supplied it. 1t has
often been asked how the jettics would
stand one of the overwhelming tempests
that sweep over the gulf at intervals Of
years. Such a tempest we have recently
had, and the jetties came out of the con-
tlict with which the hurricane forces as
sailed them stanch and victorious. The
storm went beyond any to which the jet
ties had been composed, beyond even the
noted hurricane of 1888.
Not only did the jetties at the mouth
of the Mississippi withstand the might of
the storm, but those at the Sabine, not
half finished, did the same. They are
built on the same system as the Eads jet
ties, and the might that held out at the
storm was the same fragile looking will
low mattresses that are used there. Mai.
Heuer, who has supervision of the work,
has carefully examined what effect it
has had upon the unfinished work The
New Orleans Picayune reports that Mai.
Heuer found the Sabine jetties entirely
uninjured, and no material change in the
depth of the channel between them.
They had withstood the fury of storm
that had swept away every human
structure upon the adjacent land. -

And with my feeble eyes and dim.

THE RAILWAY ASSURED.

1t is evident, from the brief inter-
view with Professor Churchill publish
ed in yesterdays TIMES, that that
gentleman "means business" in ref
ersnce to the proposed HALEY and
Gold Belt Railway. His surveyors
will be here soon, to locate the line.
set grade stakes, etc., and when that
is done there will be nothing in the
way, unless it be lack OF confidence
in the future of the Gold Belt, to
prevent the building of the road.
Inasmuch as at least four good mines
are already developed on the Belt,
while at least 20 more give promise
OF fully equal merit, we do not fear
the result of even a critical inquiry
into its mineral bearing probabilities.
The railway will therefore be built,
mills to reduce Gold Belt ores will be
erected here, and the future prospect
ty and steady growth Of Haley as
sured.
The TIMES congratulates the people
of HALEY and the owners of claims
on the Gold Belt upon the prosperity
which is evidently at hand. That
railway once completed, the number
of producing mines in Croy gulch,
Bullion, the Gold Belt, Smoky and
tributary country will be greatly in
creased, money will become plentiful,
town property will quadruple In value,
and all who can produce or control
something salable will realize fair
completeness.
